Need a horse for this buggy (app)

MtnDerf

I’ve got a Vivoactive 4. The entire Garmin ecosystem, including this app and their widgets is so buggy. Features work one day, not the next. Then they’ll start working again. Some days, the phone and watch won’t sync. Who knows why. Lots of great stuff, when it works.

Constant software issues

At first I loved everything about my Vivosmart However, since IOS 13 I have had constant problems getting the app to sinc with the watch. I have not have a good results with Garmin support and have wasted so much time trying to get the problems fixed. It frustrates me because I love what the watch can do.

Repeatedly asks me to log in

This is getting ridiculous. Every morning when I open Garmin connect it asks me to log in and set up my device again. Such a waste of time.

Terrible

I have to reconnect my vivomove HR watch at least once a week. Then, I always have trouble with the connection. I have to retype all my info such as date of birth, height and weight. I thought Garmin had a good reputation so I switched from FitBit. Big mistake. What a waste of my money.

Internet

Only bad thing to say is you can’t sync to your phone without internet. Should still allow syncing to store data on phone until you get back to cell service!

Very Happy

I have been using the app for a while. Overall I’m very happy with how it works. Every problem I have had seems to be fixed with an update and I really like the hydration track portion, however I do wish it would show on your calendar.

Latest version still doesn’t work on iPhone 13.3

Fenix 5S Plus and the latest garmin connect app still will not connect with iPhone OS 13.3 When the watch and app do work together, this app is amazing. When they don’t, it is useless.

Great for what I need

I bought the garmin to track steps and log walking / biking route. The things that are accurate to a degree are step count, yoga minutes practiced/ heart rate, and walking / biking routes + elevation. The steps calculated usually don’t relate well to miles walked but overall it keeps a nice record of my walks. I like that it sends text messages, email and the weather is spot on ( if one can rely on forecasts). You can customize it as you like but the more stuff you add the shorter the battery life. Overall, I like the garmin and am happy with the purchase. Vicky

garmin connect signs out and unpairs devices when phone reboots

having to sign in again and re pair my device and choose all my settings again every time I reboot my phone is insane

Software is buggy

I have a vivosmart 4 which is good hardware but this software is the pits. I have waited through a software update to see if it gets better after iOS 13 but it is still flakely. Connection problems, having to reset my watch, growing fustrstrated at all this, I have reinstalled the app several timed and lost data as a result. Because of the software I am shopping for s different non Garmin device.
